First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether taking photos of things related to well-being and discussing them with a therapist can help people with stress-related illness. Participants take pictures with their phone before sessions, and the therapist uses the photos to guide conversations about well-being and daily strategies. The trial compares this added therapy to usual care alone in 50 adults aged 20-67 who are on or at risk of sick leave due to stress.
